Just Married is a 2007 Bollywood film directed by Meghna Gulzar and starring Fardeen Khan, Esha Deol in lead roles along with Satish Shah, Kirron Kher and Mukul Dev in supporting roles.
Abhay Sachdeva and Ritika Khanna are young, modern Indian professionals. They briefly meet at a wedding, and individually make their dislike for arranged marriages known, since they do not understand the concept of marrying a stranger. Unbeknownst to them, their parents meet at the same wedding and compare their horoscopes, which begins the process of arranging a match. Even though they each have strong objections, the couple eventually give in to their parents wishes and get married. The newly weds then embark on a honeymoon trip to Ooty. The trip is part of a romantic getaway package, where they will be sharing a lodge with other couples.
The first people they meet are Mr and Mrs Chaturvedi, an elderly couple celebrating their anniversary. They constantly bicker and argue, but despite this, they love each other deeply. Abhay and Ritika then meet Shoaib and Anaiya, another newly wed couple. Anaiya is Shoaib's sister's best friend and has always had feelings for him, but Shoaib is unable to think of Anaiya as anything other than a childhood friend. Taking a stroll in the neighboring forest, the pair meet Rishab and Anu, a couple who are head over heels in love with each other and have come to Ooty on their yearly holiday. They have the perfect romance and the other couples envy them and their amazing relationship. Later, while at dinner, Ritika tries to prolong the meal so that she can avoid spending time alone with Abhay. That night, Ritika cannot bring herself to consummate the marriage, and after Abhay falls asleep, she decides to sleep on the couch. The next day, the group prepares to go on an outing organised by the lodge management. There, they meet A.K. and Sarah, who have arrived late due to delayed trains. A.K is an explorer who has been out of the country for a long time, and Sarah is his long term, half-Indian girlfriend. A.K has proposed many times but Sarah does not see the need for marriage.
The couples spend the day exploring the lake and surrounding town. Later, at a celebratory dinner organised for Mr and Mrs Chaturvedi's fortieth anniversary, the group gets to know each other better by telling the story of how they each met their respective partners. That night, Abhay separates the beds in their room, so that Ritika does not feel uncomfortable any longer. He explains to her that they need to work on their relationship for it to grow; she is still reluctant but her attitude begins to soften. The next day, the pair spend time alone, visiting tourist attractions and getting to know each other. The romantic and happy mood is broken that night when Abhay tries to be intimate with Ritika and she lashes out at him, causing an argument. Their relationship is strained but Ritika puts on a show for the other couples, who all believe that they are adjusting to their arranged marriage well. A few days later, a frustrated Abhay expresses his conflicted feelings towards love and marriage, and Mr Chaturvedi gives the men some advice. Meanwhile, the women give Sarah a traditional Indian make over, as a surprise for A.K. He proposes and she accepts, and the other couples plan a celebration for them.
